Era space: flirting with tens of billions of materials

Chapter 258 Does it still count?

Today is Sunday, and Teacher Lin, who has been busy for a week, is finally free. He sits on a long bench in the village school, chatting with Aunt Li while eating canned pineapple.

Outside the courtyard wall of the small village, Li Dahe was writing slogans with his mouth.

"Oh yes, let's just leave it here... why are your hands shaking, be steady, horizontally and vertically—"

Wang Dong, who was accused of making people turn around, felt that something was wrong with him, and suggested: "Captain, why don't you write one?"

Li Dahe stared: "If I am capable, why do I need to watch you grind?"

In the courtyard, Aunt Li rolled her eyes directly and complained to Lin Nianhe: "Your uncle just doesn't do what he wants and asks to pay back the robbers. Sooner or later, he will be kicked with a sack."

Lin Nianhe bit the pineapple and giggled.

She saw that the stitches on the soles of Aunt Li's shoes were extremely tight, so she asked, "Aunt Li, after the autumn harvest, will we have nothing to do?"

"There's not much work left," Aunt Li said. "After grinding the corn flour, accumulating sauerkraut, and going up the mountain to chop firewood, it will take a whole winter. Otherwise, the mountain will be covered by heavy snow, and there will be nowhere to get it."

Lin Nianhe thought about it and asked, "After finishing all these, it will be November, right?"

"It's about the same. It's not too late to cut firewood. Who knows when it will snow." Aunt Li was talking without any delay in the movements of her hands.

Lin Nianhe drank the canned water, his head spinning rapidly.

That is to say, there are three or four months of slack in winter, and there are many things to do.

She dialed the abacus in her heart, and after a while, she heard Li Dahe calling her: "Girl Lin, someone is looking for you!"

Lin Nianhe said "Hey", greeted Aunt Li, and ran out holding her can.

She thought it was Su Yuncheng, or Xie Yufei, she even thought of Mrs. Zhou, but when she saw someone coming, she was still shocked for a moment.

Zheng Lirong led Zheng Shan and Bai Xiaojun to stand at the gate of the village, all three of them looked tired.

Zheng Lirong only carried a small burden, and it looked like it couldn't hold anything.

Seeing Lin Nianhe come out, Zheng Lirong's face flashed with embarrassment, she looked at Lin Nianhe, and after a while she called softly: "Sister."

Lin Nianhe came back to his senses, and hurriedly said hello: "Sister Lirong, you are here."

Li Dahe glanced at them, seeing that it was a female comrade who came to find Lin Nianhe, he didn't think much about it, and continued to direct Wang Dong to work.

Lin Nianhe said: "Sister, go and sit with me for a while."

"Row."

Zheng Lirong took the two children and walked behind Lin Nianhe in silence.

Lin Nianhe took them back to the educated youth spot, first poured water, opened a can to share with the two children, and then lit a fire to cook.

Zheng Lirong sat in the courtyard, silent, never speaking.

Lin Nianhe cooked noodles, made egg sauce, and mixed in shredded cucumber.

Lunch was very silent. The two little guys just arrived, but they didn't seem to have any curiosity at all. They just ate with their heads sullen and didn't even make a sound.

Zheng Lirong also couldn't eat, she stopped her chopsticks several times and looked at Lin Nianhe, but seeing that she was concentrating on eating, she stopped talking.

Zheng Lirong thought, Lin Nianhe was refusing.

Her mind became heavier and she couldn't bear it anymore.

The two children ate slowly, Lin Nianhe waited for them to put down their chopsticks, and said, "May I get you a comic book?"

Zheng Shan lowered her head, clutching the corner of her clothes and not speaking.

Bai Xiaojun looked at Lin Nianhe, but only glanced at it, then lowered his head again, timidly silent.

Zheng Lirong frowned: "What's the matter with you two? Talk."

"It's okay, it's okay," Lin Nianhe said quickly, "The child is tired after taking the car all the way."

As she spoke, she put down her chopsticks and pulled the two children into the room.

She put the kang table in place, and let the two little guys take off their shoes and go to the kang. She brought them the little book and candies left by Niuwa here, and poured water.

"Shanshan, take your younger brother to play for a while. If you are sleepy, spread out the quilts before you go to bed," Lin Nianhe said to Zheng Shan in the gentlest voice, "Your mother and I are outside. If you have something to do, call us, okay?"

When she was speaking, Zheng Shan still kept her head down. She waited until she was finally asked, and then she raised her head and glanced at Lin Nianhe cautiously, then nodded her head almost imperceptibly.

"So good." Lin Nianhe rubbed her head with a smile, and then said to Bai Xiaojun, "Xiaojun, listen to my sister, don't play by the edge of the kang."

Bai Xiaojun's reaction was quicker, but he also didn't speak.

Lin Nianhe went out and sat back on the small bench.

Zheng Lirong looked at her and was silent for a long time before asking: "You told me before that I can come to you if I have something...do you still count?"

Lin Nianhe suppressed his smile, looked at her, and nodded seriously: "Forget it."

Zheng Lirong took a deep breath and let it out slowly, seeming to relax a bit.

She looked at Lin Nianhe, said silently for a moment: "I want to send Shanshan and Xiaojun to your village primary school to study."

Lin Nianhe frowned: "What about you?"

"I have to go back to the provincial capital." Zheng Lirong said.

She can't let those who are still willing to protect them have nothing to eat, and she can't put her future hope on the only remaining 2000 yuan that was lucky enough not to be seized.

She doesn't like black market trading, but now, this is all she can do.

The accident cut off her hobbies and made her do whatever she wanted.

Lin Nianhe looked at her, and after a moment of silence asked her, "Do you have any supply?"

Zheng Lirong's eyes flickered slightly, and said, "I won't do that."

Lin Nianhe laughed, and she said: "Sister, Baibo will fall, not because he does business with me, but because he drives up prices and manipulates the market, and..."

Zheng Lirong's eyebrows trembled slightly, and the corners of her eyes were slightly red, interrupting Lin Nianhe's words: "Don't mention him."

"Okay, don't mention him." Lin Nianhe drank his saliva and said, "I really have a source of supply, but there will be a lot of demands."

Zheng Lirong smiled bitterly: "Do you think I dare to buy from you?"

"Why don't you dare?" Lin Nianhe looked at her, "Unless you also want to drive up prices, or become someone else's eyeliner or nail again, and tell people who shouldn't know what you shouldn't say."

Zheng Lirong was silent.

"Why did they pass the sentence so quickly? You should know better than me in the provincial capital." Lin Nianhe rested his chin on one hand and said while looking at the green hills in the distance. If you die, you must die."

Zheng Lirong didn't answer, and turned to look at the two children in the room.

Zheng Shan still sat where she was, with her head lowered, rubbing the corner of her clothes without speaking.Bai Xiaojun bent over, fiddling with the small wooden gun in his arms, but didn't move.

"Sister, I really want to hate you." Zheng Lirong said in a low voice, "If it wasn't for you, that bastard should still be alive right now."

"But I really can't hate you...Even without you, he will die sooner or later for these things...I can't control men, and I can't blame others."

Zheng Lirong's voice trembled slightly, and tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes.
